The Problem is that every year Americans create an astounding
1.6 million tons of household hazardous waste. This includes many common
household, yard, and auto products and material in addition to electronics
and pharmaceutical products.

It's illegal to dispose of household hazardous waste in
the garbage, landfills, fire, on the ground, or down toilets, sinks, sewers
or storm drains. Toxics ( such as mercury) in hazardous waste products
pose a serious risk to people, animals, crops and nature. When these products
are illegally discarded, toxics can be released into the soil, the air
you breathe, and water supplies. What's more, if hazardous products are
left within reach of children and pets, they can be deadly!
